Plasma β-amyloid (Aβ) assays are a promising tool for Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis in clinical practice
establishing an appropriate sample-handling procedure for each analytical platform is warranted
This study proposes an appropriate sample-handling procedure using HISCL analyzer by elucidating the individual/combined effects of pre-analytical parameters on plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 levels
We investigated the effects of various pre-analytical parameters
and confirmed if these values met the acceptable criteria
Plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 levels were acceptable in all conditions
We determined our protocol by confirming that plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 levels remained acceptable when combining pre-analytical parameters
We established an appropriate sample-handling protocol that ensures reliable measurement of plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 levels using HISCL analyzer
shows promise for aiding AD diagnosis in clinical settings
there is an urgent need to develop drugs that have the potential to change the progression of AD
The prescribing information for lecanemab also requires confirmation of brain Aβ pathology for treatment
along with the widespread administration of these promising drugs to patients
there is an urgent need to establish a method to detect brain Aβ pathology in routine clinical practice
Whether combined effects of these parameters on the plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 level occur is unknown
protocols proposed by previous studies should be determined by evaluating the combined effects of pre-analytical parameters
Schematic illustration of a sample-handling procedure from WB collection to measurement of plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 levels
The following parameters were assessed: (1) storage time of WB samples at different temperatures
(2) storage time of plasma samples from plasma separation to measurement
(3) freezing timing after plasma separation
Recovery of the plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 level in different whole blood/plasma storage conditions
d) plasma storage time at RT and 4 °C on the plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 level were evaluated
Plots and error bars indicate the mean values and standard deviations for 10 plasma samples
The y-axis shows recovery calculated as the percentage of the Aβ42/Aβ40 level obtained in each condition compared with that obtained in the reference condition
The black dashed lines show the borders of ± 10%
Recovery of the plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 level in different freezing/storage conditions
The effects of the (a) freezing condition and freezing timing of plasma samples stored at (b) RT or (c) 4 °C on the plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 level were evaluated
Plasma samples were frozen in deep freezers at − 70 °C or − 80 °C
The effects of individual pre-analytical parameters on plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 level are summarized in Table 1
We observed that plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 recovery was acceptable under all evaluated conditions
To verify plasma Aβ levels in clinical practice
sample-handling procedures should be determined considering the combined effects of the pre-analytical parameters
This is because potential interactions between these parameters may result in unacceptable plasma Aβ levels
we investigated the combined effects of these factors on plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 levels
in consideration of sample handling in clinical practice
we evaluated the following pre-analytical conditions: (1) WB centrifugation was performed at RT instead of 4 °C
(2) plasma samples were frozen at − 20 °C in addition to below − 70 °C
and (3) plasma Aβ levels were measured within 6 h at 4 °C instead of 0.5 h at RT after thawing plasma samples
Combined effects of WB and plasma storage conditions on the plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 level
(a) Schematic of sample handling from WB collection to measurement
WB samples were stored for 2 h at RT or 6 h at 4 °C

The condition indicated with an asterisk was analyzed using only five plasma samples because of insufficient plasma sample volumes
Combined effects of WB and plasma storage and freezing conditions on the plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 level
WB samples were stored for (b) 2 h at RT or (c) 6 h at 4 °C
Plasma samples were frozen at − 20 °C or − 70 °C for 2 weeks after plasma storage for 2 h at RT or 6 h at 4 °C

In the conditions indicated with an asterisk in (c)
− 20 °C) plasma samples were excluded from the analysis because of the generation of fibrin clots with supercooling
The proposed appropriate sample-handling procedure from WB collection to measurement of plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 levels
Liquid nitrogen may also be used to freeze plasma samples
This result is not surprising since different analytical platforms vary in sample-handling factors such as stirring speed and reaction time/temperature
the effects of pre-analytical parameters on plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 levels may differ between analytical platforms
establishing standard recommendations for sample handling specifically using the HISCL analyzer is important
The hydrophobic property of the Aβ peptide itself may also trigger non-specific binding to hydrophobic surfaces as well as Aβ aggregation
the decreased Aβ42/Aβ40 level could also be attributed to the adsorption of Aβ42 to the inner tube/tip surface by hydrophobic interaction
further evaluation of Aβ peptide stability in plasma
focusing on structural and molecular properties
Plasma Aβ-aggregate assays (oligomer and/or fibrils) will likely help in understanding the behavior of Aβ molecules in plasma
the plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 level would be used for assisting AD diagnosis with CSF and PET testing
we aimed to establish acceptable plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 levels by controlling the sample-handling procedure
since we developed our protocol to account for real-world application
our plasma Aβ assay combined with the appropriate use of this sample-handling protocol may be feasible for implementation in routine clinical practice
the % change in plasma Aβ42/40 levels may differ in subjects with AD pathology present in the brain
additional studies are needed to determine the applicability of this protocol to diverse patients with different pathologies
by evaluating the effects of individual and combined pre-analytical parameters on plasma Aβ levels
we established a recommended sample-handling procedure for obtaining Aβ42/Aβ40 levels calculated from HISCL analyzer measurements
We believe that our plasma Aβ assay coupled with our sample-handling recommendation is a promising candidate for aiding AD diagnosis in routine clinical practice
Blood samples were obtained from healthy volunteers at Seishin Kenshin Center (Kobe
This study was approved by the Sysmex Ethics Committee (approval number 2019–047) and conducted in accordance with the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki
All participants provided informed consent for their blood samples to be used in this study
Ten blood samples from healthy volunteers were used to evaluate the effects of one pre-analytical condition on plasma Aβ levels
Whole blood (WB) samples were collected in 6 mL dipotassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tubes (BD Vacutainer® Blood Collection Tubes
and stored at 4 °C until centrifugation (2000 g
which was performed within 1 h of collection
the samples were stored in polypropylene tubes (Bio-Bik
and plasma Aβ40 and Aβ42 levels were measured within 30 min at RT; this was set as the reference condition
The plasma samples were transferred to freezers set at − 70 °C or − 80 °C
or frozen using liquid nitrogen within 30 min of plasma separation at RT
Freezing timing means the time from plasma separation to freezing samples using liquid nitrogen
The frozen plasma samples were thawed for 1 h at RT
After evaluation of the effects of individual parameters on the plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 level
the combined effects of these parameters were determined
In the assessment of the combined effects of WB/plasma stability
we selected the longest time from each individual pre-analytical test
the following conditions were added to the evaluation of combined effects: (1) centrifugation at 2000 g for 10 min at RT
and (3) storage time for 6 h after thawing the plasma samples
measurements were performed after 2 weeks’ storage of plasma samples in the freezers set at − 20 °C or − 70 °C
we determined whether the mean ± SD for each test was within ± 10% of the reference plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 level

The Rotary Club of Wailuku has announced the successful acquisition of a $50,000 grant from the Rotary D5000 Foundation Maui Fires Relief Fund
This grant will be used to support Piha Wellness and Healing over the upcoming fiscal year
and culturally sensitive mental health providers
These professionals will offer their services to individuals and families who have been impacted by the wildfires on Maui
The program will be overseen by Founder and Clinical Director Michele Navarro Ishiki
This funding will also enable the expedited delivery of therapeutic care
bridging the gap that often exists when individuals must wait 4-6 months for mental health services
By focusing on culturally sensitive approaches to mental health in the aftermath of Maui’s wildfires
this initiative aims to provide individuals and families struggling with depression
and other harmful behaviors with healthier coping mechanisms
the goal is to help reduce trauma symptoms stemming from the devastating wildfires
This initiative reflects the collaborative efforts of Rotarians to support the recovery of the Lahaina community
showcasing their unity and dedication to assisting those in need
KAHULUI — Four individuals packed their belongings into shopping carts on a strip of grass fronting the Shiraishi Pool on Monday when Maui County officials and police arrived shortly after 8 a.m
“We don’t know where we going,” said one man before officials arrived at the Kahului pool
Another man said: “I got place for go.” He said he has family and a home on Molokai
“Just put as ‘Rich,’ ” he said
Rich said he has been living along Kaulawahine Street for about a week and prefers to be called “houseless” rather than homeless
“The cost of living is too expensive,” he said of his difficulty in finding housing
Some of the people living along the sidewalk fronting the pool work
He thanked people who drop off food and clothing in the area
although county officials caution against it
Rich and the others carted their belongings away around 10 minutes after the eviction began
Rich said he’s usually the last to leave because he picks up the rubbish others leave behind
“It doesn’t seem right what we are doing here
(but) when you think of the entire community
we got to do what we got to do,” said county Homeless Program specialist Michele Navarro Ishiki
She talked to the people being evicted and picked up trash
Neighbors have been concerned about homeless people congregating and camping in the area
especially parents who drop off their children for swimming programs
Homeless people have also gathered across the driveway to Kahului Union Church
where there are senior citizen classes during the morning
Most of the around 20 homeless people who linger by the fence were gone by 8 a.m
Neighborhood resident Alicia Sardinha said homeless people stay up all hours of the night
Some scream obscenities and threaten to kill each other
“They pace up and down the street screaming
It’s no longer an occasional problem but an every-night problem,” she said
who has lived in the area for more than 50 years
and now their children are not allowed near there without being escorted.”
Sardinha has written to Mayor Alan Arakawa for help and has called police
Maui County’s homeless program coordinator
who said he hears her concerns about Kaulawahine Street
have been working with many of these individuals for years offering assistance to get them sheltered,” Nakama wrote in a email
several of those people in that area actually have housing but are choosing to hang out with their friends.”
Police and county officials conduct outreach and clean areas where homeless people stay weekly and sometimes more frequently
Sardinha told The Maui News that in the early ’90s she and her family started seeing homeless in their residential neighborhood and even put up gates across the driveway that stopped homeless people from approaching them
but the homeless people were quiet and didn’t appear to sleep in the area
the homeless people moved to Salvation Army’s banyan tree
they congregated by the fence fronting the pool
One man who was leaving the area Monday morning said he has been living there for five years
He wanted to be identified only as “Dudoit,” and said he is originally from Waihee
He pointed to places where homeless people would lay their heads
such as the old swap meet property across from the Kahului McDonald’s
but they moved when they realized that church sprinklers would go on at midnight
Dudoit was familiar with Arakawa’s proposal to have services and possibly housing at the Old Maui High School in Hamakuapoko
But “that’s a challenge,” Dudoit said
noting that other needed services are in Central Maui
He said he has signed up for help with the Family Life Center and is awaiting a call
Ishiki said that any notice to vacate comes with offers of outreach services by the Family Life Center and community police officers
She said she knows that at times people “just need a hand up.” Ishiki herself once was homeless; now
some homeless people choose not to accept help from others
noting the timing must be right for people to accept services
people moved their carts across Kamehameha Avenue and congregated near the Kahului Shopping Center
Ishiki said she recognizes that people move from one site to the next
But she said the notice to vacate is a way to get homeless people to accept outreach services
The last time there was a notice to vacate near the pool was Dec
the county’s Public Works Department put up portable road barriers along the fence to deter camping

Jonathan Fraser’s car was found on Kuliouou Road in August 2016
Already a Honolulu Star-Advertiser subscriber? Log in now to continue reading.
Jonathan Fraser was last seen July 30, 2016, at his Hawaii Kai apartment at 6233 Keokea Place, and was reported missing the following day by his family. Police found his gray 1994 Honda hatchback near the intersection of Summer Street and Kuliouou Road on Aug. 8, 2016.
The FBI announced Tuesday it is offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to Fraser’s whereabouts and to the arrest of the individuals responsible for his disappearance. FBI Special Agent Arnold Laanui said law enforcement has identified persons of interest but is not naming them.
“We are hoping that at this point in time, the reward will be enough to uncover the leads we are looking for, so we can actually locate Mr. Fraser,” Laanui said.
He said some of the leads the FBI is pursuing include individuals associated with Fraser’s vehicle and apartment.
The FBI and the Honolulu Police Department previously used dogs to search for Fraser’s body based on earlier information.
Fraser was involved in a fatal head-on collision in Kaneohe on Nov. 17, 2015, that killed Caleb-Jordan K. Miske-Lee. Miske’s father, Michael Miske, filed a lawsuit in November 2017, claiming that Fraser was the driver. Miske also got city approval for a controversial tree light decoration fronting Maunalua Bay during the 2017 holidays as a memorial for his son.
Stay in touch with breaking news, as it happens, conveniently in your email inbox. It's FREE!
Miske is suing Fraser; the driver of the other vehicle, Jared Ishiki; and Ishiki’s employer. Ishiki was driving a company vehicle at the time. The accident left Fraser with four distinctive scars on his face: one below his left eye, one under his nose and two on his chin.
In a July 2016 Honolulu CrimeStoppers alert, police said Fraser suffers from a condition that requires daily medication.
“The FBI will pursue these cases to its ultimate end and conclusion,” Laanui said. “And that’s ultimately bringing somebody who’s responsible to be heard in the court of law.”
Individuals with information concerning the disappearance of Fraser should contact the FBI’s Honolulu Office at 566-4300.

Parkinson’s Disease and Aging-related Movement Disorders
Volume 11 - 2019 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fnagi.2019.00249
Neurodegenerative parkinsonian syndromes comprise a number of disorders that are characterized by similar clinical features but are separated on the basis of different pathologies
aggregates of α-synuclein or tau protein
Due to the overlap of signs and symptoms a precise differentiation is often difficult
Enormous efforts have been taken to develop tau-selective PET imaging agents
but strong off-target binding to monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) has been observed across first generation ligands
astrogliosis-related MAO-B elevation is a common histopathological known feature of all parkinsonian syndromes and might be itself an interesting imaging target
this study aimed to investigate the performance of [18F]-THK5351
a combined MAO-B and tau tracer for differential diagnosis of parkinsonian syndromes
[18F]-THK5351 PET was performed in 34 patients: six with Parkinson’s disease (PD)
nine with multiple system atrophy with predominant parkinsonism (MSA-P)
six with MSA with predominant cerebellar ataxia (MSA-C)
and 13 with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) Richardson’s syndrome
Volume-of-interest-based quantification of standardized-uptake-values was conducted in different parkinsonian syndrome-related target regions
PET results were subjected to multinomial logistic regression to create a prediction model discriminating among groups
we correlated tracer uptake with clinical findings
Elevated [18F]-THK5351 uptake in midbrain and diencephalon differentiated PSP patients from PD and MSA-C
MSA-C patients were distinguishable by high tracer uptake in the pons and cerebellar deep white matter when compared to PSP and PD patients
whereas MSA-P patients tended to show higher tracer uptake in the lentiform nucleus
A multinomial logistic regression classified 33/34 patients into the correct clinical diagnosis group
and striatum was closely associated with the presence of cerebellar and parkinsonian symptoms of MSA patients
The current study demonstrates that combined MAO-B and tau binding of THK5351 facilitates differential diagnosis of parkinsonian syndromes
our data indicate a correlation of MSA phenotype with [18F]-THK5351 uptake in certain brain regions
illustrating their relevance for the emergence of clinical symptoms and underlining the potential of THK5351 PET as a biomarker that correlates with pathological changes as well as with disease stage
Especially in the early course of the disease, a precise differentiation of parkinsonian syndromes is often difficult based on clinical features alone and misdiagnosis is a frequent problem, with the most common misdiagnosis of PSP being PD and MSA (Osaki et al., 2004). This is mainly due to clinical heterogeneity and phenotypic overlap (McFarland, 2016)
To this day the definite diagnosis of neurodegenerative parkinsonian syndromes still relies on post-mortem histological detection of the underlying pathology
A significantly higher [18F]-THK5351 tracer retention could be detected in the midbrain and globus pallidus of PSP patients
The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of combined MAO-B and tau binding of [18F]-THK5351 as a tool for differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative parkinsonian syndromes
we sought to correlate individual regional tracer uptake with clinical phenotype and to compare PET results with magnetic resonance imaging
Demographic and clinical data of the study sample
The unified MSA rating scale (UMSARS) is the most commonly used disease-specific rating instrument in MSA and was developed to rate functional impairment independent of the underlying motor disorder (Wenning et al., 2004)
To assess the amount of parkinsonian and cerebellar symptoms in our MSA cohort we calculated from the UMSARS part II
a new score (UMSARS parkinsonism/cerebellar features
To obtain a linear scale for correlation analysis the items facial expression
tremor at rest and increased tone referring to specific parkinsonian symptoms were scaled from 0 (no impairment) to −4 (severe impairment) whereas the items ocular motor dysfunction
and heel–knee–shin test referring to specific cerebellar symptoms were scaled from 0 (no impairment) to +4 (severe impairment)
All other items from the UMSARS part II were not included in the generation of the UMSARS-P/C score
as they measure functional impairment of complex movements and can be caused by both parkinsonian and cerebellar symptoms
the UMSARS-P/C potentially ranges from −12 representing severe pure parkinsonism to +12 representing severe pure cerebellar symptoms
As most MSA patients present with a combination of parkinsonian and cerebellar features the score ranged from −4 to +4 in our study cohort
Automated production of [18F]-THK5351 was performed on a Raytest® SynChrom R&D single reactor synthesizer as reported previously (Brendel et al., 2017)
All emission recordings were performed in a previously established protocol (Brendel et al., 2017)
images were acquired using a GE Discovery 690 PET/CT scanner
A prior low-dose CT scan was performed for attenuation correction
Dynamic three-dimensional emission recordings were acquired during an interval of 50–70 min after intravenous injection of 183 ± 4 MBq [18F]-THK5351
The PNEURO data processing pipeline of PMOD Version 3.5 (PMOD Technologies Ltd.
Switzerland) was used for spatial normalization of all [18F]-THK5351 images to the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) space
All individual PET images were spatially normalized to the previously established [18F]-THK5351 template using the PMOD FUSION tool (equal modality; non-linear warping; 16 iterations; frequency cutoff 3; regularization 1.0; no thresholding; 8 mm transient input smoothing)
Global mean intensity scaling was used for image normalization
volume of interest (VOIs) were predefined in target regions known to be affected by MAO-B elevation and tau pathology in parkinsonian syndromes: midbrain
Mean standard-uptake-value ratios (SUVR) relative to the global mean (SUVRGLM) were calculated for each VOI in all subjects
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data were available in 26/34 patients
The remaining patients either refused MRI or had a contraindication to MRI
In accordance with prior studies assessing morphometric MRI parameters for differential diagnosis of parkinsonism (Cosottini et al., 2007; Heim et al., 2017), we determined the ratio of the midbrain cross-sectional area scaled by the pons area. All measurements were performed in Horos open source medical image viewer on mid-sagittal images of T1/T2w sequences
A midsagittal plane of the brain volume passing through the middle of the interpeduncular fossa
and the falx cerebri was chosen (each determined on axial images)
The midbrain area was determined by tracing the contour of the midbrain down to a line parallel to the hypothetic conjunction between the genu and splenium of the corpus callosum touching the superior part of the pons
For the determination of the pons midsagittal area
extending from the lower bound of the midbrain area down to a parallel line touching the inferior border of the pons
Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows (Version 25.0.
Non-dichotomized mean scores of demographic and clinical data were compared across the four groups (PD
and PSP patients) via Kruskal–Wallis test and post hoc Bonferroni corrected Mann–Whitney tests
Chi-square analysis was used to test for differences in gender distribution across all groups
Standard statistical significance level was set at p < 0.05
For group comparisons of semiquantitative PET results in different target VOIs a Kruskal–Wallis test was performed
Significance levels for the Kruskal–Wallis test were adjusted according to Bonferroni correction (p < 0.0083)
Results of post hoc tests were regarded significant if they survived an additional Bonferroni correction for multiple pairwise comparisons
Spearman’s test was used to explore significant correlations between PET results and clinical parameters (H&Y
UMSARS-P/C) and the midbrain-to-pons area ratio calculated from MRI
Four-category multinomial logistic regression was used to classify among the four disease groups using significant semiquantitative PET results as predictor variables
multinomial logistic regression using MRI midbrain-to-pons area ratio as predictor was performed to compare the diagnostic utility of [18F]-THK5351 PET and MRI
Demographics and clinical scores of the study sample are provided in Table 1
Patient groups did not differ significantly in terms of age
Kruskal–Wallis test detected significant group differences of H&Y stage with lowest scores in PD and highest scores in PSP
Significant differences of [18F]-THK5351 uptake were observed in the diencephalon, midbrain, pons, and cerebellar deep white matter (Kruskal–Wallis test, Table 2 and Figures 1A,B)
[18F]-THK5351 uptake in the lentiform nucleus was highest in MSA-P patients but did not survive the significance threshold for multiple comparisons
No significant differences could be detected for the striatum
(A) High midbrain uptake in axial and sagittal slices allows visual discrimination of the PSP patient group from other patient groups
Significantly higher [18F]-THK5351 uptake in the diencephalon was detected in PSP patients compared to PD and MSA-C patients
[18F]-THK5351 uptake was especially high in the pons and cerebellar deep white matter
∗ indicates significant differences
Post hoc Bonferroni tests showed that PSP patients had higher [18F]-THK5351 uptake in the diencephalon compared to PD and MSA-C and had higher [18F]-THK5351 uptake in the midbrain compared to all other patient groups whereas MSA-C patients had higher [18F]-THK5351 uptake in the pons compared to PSP and PD patients and had higher [18F]-THK5351 uptake in cerebellar deep white matter compared to PSP patients (Figures 1A,B)
The multinomial logistic regression model was able to accurately classify 33/34 (97.1%) patients using the [18F]-THK5351 uptake in the diencephalon
and cerebellar deep white matter as predictor variables (p < 0.05
A more conservative and therefore potentially clinically more meaningful regression model using only the [18F]-THK5351 uptake in the midbrain and pons as predictor variables was still able to correctly classify 29/34 (85.3%) patients (p < 0.05
A model using the MRI midbrain-to-pons area ratio as predictor
was able to accurately classify 17/26 (65.4%) patients (p < 0.05
In order to assess the potential of [18F]-THK5351 as a biomarker of disease stage and progression
a correlation analysis of tracer uptake and clinical parameters as well as with MRI atrophy was conducted
We observed a significant positive correlation of H&Y stage with [18F]-THK5351 uptake in the lentiform nucleus (rs = 0.38
p = 0.01) and a negative correlation of the SEADL with [18F]-THK5351 uptake in the lentiform nucleus (rs = −0.49
There was no significant correlation of tracer uptake with disease duration
Correlation of [18F]-THK5351 tracer uptake with UMSARS-P/C: (A) Correlation of [18F]-THK5351 tracer uptake in the pons
(B) Axial and sagittal slices showing individual tracer uptake of patients with an UMSARS-P/C score of –4
The MRI midbrain-to-pons area ratio showed a positive correlation with [18F]-THK5351 uptake in the pons (rs = 0.49
p = 0.01) and cerebellar deep white matter (rs = 0.47
p = 0.02) and a negative correlation with tracer uptake in the diencephalon (rs = −0.54
We present the first study demonstrating the value of a combined MAO-B and tau radioligand for the differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative parkinsonian syndromes including primary tauopathies (PSP) and α-synucleinopathies (PD
Tracer uptake levels of [18F]-THK5351 in the diencephalon
and cerebellar deep white matter are significant predictors of clinical diagnosis
our data indicate a strong association between region-specific tracer uptake and the amount of parkinsonian and cerebellar symptoms in MSA
These results suggest a high amount of tracer retention being due to binding to MAO-B
MAO-B was positively correlated to astrocyte proteins like vimentin
MAO-B in the atypical parkinsonian syndromes MSA and PSP was significantly increased in brain areas affected by neurodegeneration
This fact suggests that localized presence of α-synuclein underlies astrocytic pathology in MSA and explains the high amount of tracer uptake detected in our MSA-C patient group in these regions
A multinomial logistic regression model using the midbrain-to-pons area ratio as predictor variable
only led to a classification accuracy of 65.4% and was therefore worse than the model using semiquantitative PET results as predictors
Our data therefore provide evidence for [18F]-THK5351 uptake in the diencephalon
and cerebellar deep white matter to be of high predictive value in diagnosing the four parkinsonian syndromes under investigation
Combined MAO-B and tau binding of [18F]-THK5351 seems to be of value for differentiation of parkinsonian syndromes and may be a useful diagnostic tool in the absence of 4R-tau- and α-synuclein-selective ligands
In our MSA cohort tracer uptake in the striatum
and cerebellar deep white matter correlated with the amount of parkinsonian and cerebellar symptoms
This finding illustrates the clinical relevance of the striatum for the emergence of parkinsonian symptoms and the relevance of the pons and cerebellar deep white matter for the emergence of cerebellar symptoms in MSA and underlines the potential of [18F]-THK5351 PET as a biomarker assessing phenotype and disease stage
our data disclosed a positive/negative correlation between midbrain-to-pons area ratio calculated from MRI with [18F]-THK5351 uptake in the pons and cerebellar deep white matter as well as with tracer uptake in the diencephalon and midbrain
This correlation is driven by the combined effect of pontine atrophy in MSA-C patients that show a high amount of tracer uptake in the pons and cerebellar deep white matter and midbrain atrophy in PSP patients that have significantly higher tracer uptake in the diencephalon and midbrain
[18F]-THK5351 retention seems to be closely related to other markers of neuronal injury
This finding suggests that the presence of astrogliosis-related MAO-B elevation and tau
strongly affects neurodegeneration and assures us about well-capturing neuropathological changes
A limitation of the current study that needs to be considered is the absence of a neuropathological confirmation of diagnosis which reflects the moderate clinical severity within our patients
the lack of a neuropathological confirmation is a general problem in studies investigating neurodegenerative disorders at an early disease stage
there remains the possibility that some cases had a mismatch of clinical diagnosis and underlying pathology
the present results have face validity given the agreement between [18F]-THK5351 uptake and the known topology of tau distribution in PSP patients and the topology of astrogliosis in the patient groups under investigation
the tight clinical follow-up over 23.4 ± 14.1 months ensured us about the clinical diagnosis
a more deep and specific cognitive assessment would have been desirable
as the current study is retrospective by nature
We further acknowledge the small sample size
it should be noted that the current study is the first investigating [18F]-THK5351 uptake in MSA
Nonetheless a larger multicenter investigation of this rare disease will be needed to evaluate the utility of [18F]-THK5351 as a combined radiotracer of tau and astrogliosis in neurodegenerative diseases
Keeping these limitations in mind our findings reveal combined tau and MAO-B binding of [18F]-THK5351 to facilitate differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative parkinsonian syndromes and to correlate with phenotype and MRI atrophy
[18F]-THK5351 may have limited utility as a specific biomarker of tau but may be a promising marker of neuroinflammation accompanying neurodegeneration

The company began streaming three promotional videos for its Kill Doya (Kill Self-Satisfaction) browser role-playing game on Friday
The game centers on "ishiki takai-kei" (literally
"high consciousness-type") words as humanoid characters
The term "ishiki takai-kei" may refer to people who boast excessively with nothing to back it up
people so focused on and motivated by a certain goal that they lose sight of all else
or people overly concerned with their online appearances who are hyper-conscious about seeming interesting
the game's anthropomorphized words may most closely relate to the first and third concepts

personified words live in an alternate world ruled by the Demon King
The "ishiki takai-kei" hero Takao Isshiki suddenly appears from another world
The player becomes the Demon King who strives to defeat the self-satisfied hero
The Demon King and his associates strive to release the words dominated by the hero and return the world to peace
The game's pre-registration period opened on Friday
Depending on how many people pre-register for the game
all players will receive various in-game items and characters
An open beta test for the game will launch at the end of August
People who participate will each receive 50 Crystals in the game
A pre-registration mini game will also debut in early September

Despite some fans not expecting a comeback of the Boruto anime
it seems likely that Boruto: Two Blue Vortex will be animated
even though Boruto: Naruto Next Generation had divided fans’ opinions about supporting the story of Naruto’s son
the Boruto: Naruto Next Generation anime seems like it just needed a break to get back on track and regain fans’ hearts
as the ongoing Boruto manga has drummed up new excitement for the anime to resume
The Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga is the second chapter of the story of Boruto Uzumaki
the same person behind the original Naruto manga series
The first part of the Boruto: Naruto Next Generation anime ran from April 5
and now all hopes are now up to Two Blue Vortex
The Two Blue Vortex manga features the highly anticipated time skip
after that eventuality was hinted at in the anime
The Boruto anime’s first episode featured a grown-up Boruto and Kawaki exchanging blows and swords in the devastated Village of Konoha
when the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga was announced
On August 21st, 2023, the Two Blue Vortex manga officially kicked off, exclusively available to read on Manga Plus and Viz Media. Manga Plus summarized the second chapter of the manga series as follows: “With everyone’s memories having been altered, Boruto finds himself being hunted by his own village
There’s still no news on the continuation of the anime adaptation of the Boruto manga
but fans can likely expect that will change as the manga continues to add new chapters
it might be a while before we hear official word
to ensure there’s enough manga story to avoid too many filler episodes to slow down the animated adaptation
Moreover, when Two Blue Vortex gets animated, it might have seasonal launches. According to an in-depth interview with Studio Pierrot President Michiyuki Honma posted on Natalie
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War being converted into a seasonal anime massively affected the franchise and studio as a whole positively
“I think it’s great to make one long-running work like Pierrot has done in the past
the large budget and running costs entail a big risk
But can we compete with works made in this new way using the same production methods as before?”
it is possible that the former’s success will influence how Studio Pierrot will plan the comeback of Boruto with Two Blue Vortex
Hopefully a delay in the anime’s return will be for the best for the fans and the franchise
Some hopeful fans have speculated its return in late 2025 or 2026
though we have no way of knowing right now
Have a tip we should know? [email protected]
